Tang DM-p with a battery life of more than 200Km is coming, is the old model worth buying? For denza X, Don DM and Don DM-i buying advice, share a few thoughts:
First, the difference between Denza X and Tang DM:
Denza X is the Tang DM of the shell, the two shells are not the same, and the inner core is almost exactly the same.
Denza is a new brand jointly established by BYD and Mercedes-Benz, and Denza X is the 2021 Tang DM shell changer, BYD's engine, BYD's three electric, BYD's gearbox, the chassis should be adjusted by Mercedes-Benz, but Tang DM also uses Mercedes-Benz's chassis tuning expert, and even the engine does not use Mercedes-Benz.
You know, BYD in the DM3.0 era, the engine is a weakness, BYD487ZQB this engine can not say no, but now look, obviously and the top 2.0T there is a certain gap. If BYD and Mercedes-Benz are strongly combined, I personally feel that the Mercedes-Benz 264 920 engine should be used, and the hybrid does not need large torque output, and the low-power version is enough. Maybe the actual performance is not much different, but it is a big improvement for Denza's brand image. I think that if the Mercedes-Benz engine was used, the market performance of Denza X would not be so bad.
With mercedes-benz urine, 300,000 GRBs only use 1.3T, and 2.0T low power is not willing to give Denza. Compared with Tang DM and Denza X, I have only tested it for a short time, and I have not felt any difference in driving. Some people say that Mercedes-Benz has done mysterious optimization, and feels that the driving texture of Denza X is better, and the sound insulation is also slightly superior - to be honest, I did not feel it, maybe the test drive time is relatively short.
However, Tang DM has three configurations, the lowest configuration, 236,800 yuan is a single motor version, although it is also four-wheel drive, but pure electricity is the rear drive, hybrid mode is four-wheel drive. Zero hundred acceleration of 5.1 seconds, in fact, is strong enough, the power is strong, can only be used as an entertainment configuration, and does not have much practical significance. The biggest problem of a single motor is not power, but the future scalability, such as the dTCS system (electronically controlled traction control system) that has been upgraded on Han EV, which needs to be built on the basis of electric drive before and after, to achieve more than 100 times the torque response speed of ordinary TCS and have stronger stability. With this upgrade, the dual-motor version of Tang DM can be upgraded in the future, but the single-motor version is not.
Denza X configuration is more abundant, but it is a dual motor version of the start, zero hundred acceleration 4.3S, low matching benchmark is Tang DM26.68 million in the middle of the distribution. Another difference is that Tang DM is like the warranty policy of BYD New Energy, with a vehicle insurance of 6 years and 150,000 kilometers, three major pieces of insurance for 8 years and 150,000 kilometers, the first owner of the three electric systems for life, and a lifetime warranty for the battery cell with the car. And Denza X, the battery is only guaranteed for 8 years and 150,000 kilometers.
Second, the difference between Tang DM and Tang DM-i
Don DM and Don DM-i, the appearance is the same, the core is completely different.
Tang DM is equipped with a 2.0T, BYD487ZQB engine, which is remodeled from ZQA, and the performance is not outstanding, and the technical level is even somewhat backward. 192Ps hp, max 320Nm. Of course, this is a tuning made by the matching hybrid, not that the 2.0T is only at this level at the highest level. You know, now the top 1.5T can burst out the maximum torque of 300Nm. Plug-in hybrid models, because of the motor blessing, no need for large torque, zero hundred 4.3S strength, who will not say that the power of Tang DM is weak. The hybrid engine tuning style is soft, which has the advantage of ideal fuel consumption and low engine noise.
Tang DM-i is equipped with a Xiaoyun 1.5T engine, code-named BYD476ZQC, with a thermal efficiency of 40%, which belongs to the current top level. Maximum horsepower 139Ps, maximum torque 231Nm. Zero hundred acceleration score of 8.5 seconds, but the loss of power and fuel consumption can achieve 5.5L.
The transmission is also very different between the two cars, Tang DM matches a 6-speed wet dual clutch, while Tang DM-i uses ECVT, strictly speaking, it is not a gearbox, and it should be called a power distributor to be accurate. Technical level, as described in detail before, if you are willing to read, flip through my previous content. Here's just a few words about the differences in actual experience:
1, Tang DM because it can shift gears, so the starting engine can be driven directly. And Tang DM-i because there is no gear, limited by the fixed gear ratio, can only enter the direct drive mode at high speed, generally above 60Km, so even if the Tang DM-i is replaced with a 2.0T engine, or even replaced with a large V8, the power increase will not be too obvious, but in the initial stage, the range increase mode can provide higher voltage, matching the motor with greater power, and after entering the direct drive, it will burst out in the second half.
2, Tang DM's wet double clutch, like fuel vehicles, is a mechanical structure and relatively independent. The ECVT is to change the speed by the number of motor revolutions, even at low speeds, it can only work in the extended range mode, that is, the motor drives the vehicle, and the engine powers the battery and the motor. This leads to the fact that if the battery is damaged, such as the "EV restriction" that has appeared before, then the Don DM-i will lose power. Even if the motor and battery are damaged, Tang DM can still drive in pure oil, but the fuel consumption will be higher. This is equivalent to tang DM two sets of systems, there are double insurance, electricity does not work there is oil, oil has no electricity, only if both at the same time failure, it is possible to lie down. And Tang DM-i, no oil, gasoline pump, engine is broken, but can be pure electric driving, but the electric drive system failure will lose power.
3, DM-i of course also has its advantages, it can lock the number of revolutions and power of the engine, basically the engine is always in the most efficient working range, which is also the key to DM-i fuel saving. And Tang DM, involving gear shifting, setbacks are inevitable, and the reason for the design idea, fuel consumption will also make concessions for power output. In other words, smoothness and fuel consumption are the advantages of DM-i.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Tang DM-i currently only has a precursor, and Tang DM, all four-wheel drive. For example, the low-end Tang DM can realize the switching of pure electric rear drive and hybrid four-wheel drive. Although for the SUV, there is no control fun to speak of, but this system can have a high degree of playability on the Han DM.
Third, the evaluation and selection of the three ideas:
Among the three DM-i models currently on sale, the Don DM-i has the worst price/performance ratio. I made this evaluation at the beginning of the release of Tang DM-i: Qin PLUS DM-i is the god of dimensionality reduction, Song PLUS DM-i is a product with strong product power, and Tang DM-i is the product of positioning failure. Although Tang DM-i is currently selling well, I still retain my own opinion: it is just a product that has failed to position itself and sold it to consumers with unclear needs.
Why? Let's compare Tang DM-i with Tang DM, Tang DM-i only has one advantage in fuel saving, and Tang DM, in addition to not being so fuel-efficient, the rest are advantages. In addition, if you can install a household charging pile, then the advantages of Tang DM-i fuel saving are gone, because the cost of electricity is lower. I opened a generation of old Tang, there are charging piles at home, and it is no exaggeration not to refuel for half a year.
Of course, the difference between the two is still not small, Tang DM-i only needs 189,800 to start, and Tang DM has a minimum of 236,800, a difference of 37,000.
From another point of view, you buy a car of 100,000, fuel consumption must be considered, and you have spent 200,000 to buy a car, fuel consumption is not to say that it is not important, but the importance must be behind. If you really think about the cost of using a car, why don't you spend 150,000 yuan to buy a car, and then 50,000 yuan to buy a fuel card? This 50,000 yuan is enough for you to open for 7 or 8 years, when you are zero fuel consumption is not fragrant? Therefore, within 5 seconds of zero hundred acceleration, full-time electric four-wheel drive, self-driving tour artifact, you can tow the caravan, the Tang DM of the king of 318, selling 23.68, and even the top of the 286,800 are worth it, but about 200,000 Tang DM-i, I think it is not so worth it.
Of course, compared with fuel vehicles, Tang DM-i can still beat all the front drivers at the same price, but compared with its own products, it is actually not fragrant. My personal choice advice is: in order to save fuel, buy Song PLUS DM-i, the price is cheaper, the power is better, and it can fully meet the needs of the family. If you are more than 200,000 budgets, Tang DM is a better choice, 542 is the soul of Tang DM!
Only if you want to save fuel, the budget is exactly stuck here at 200,000, and there are 7 friends who just need it, it is more suitable for Tang DM-i, which is actually a very niche crowd. Even, as the owner of a generation of Don, I will express regret to my friends who chose Don DM-i - you can choose better.
Between Tang DM and Denza, there are only two points to consider: the first is the price, and the second is the warranty.
Before denting X did not reduce the price, it did not need to be considered at all, the price was more expensive than Tang DM, and The three electricity did not have a lifetime warranty. Definitely buy Don DM! Denza has no Mercedes-Benz logo. And now Denza X generally has more than 70,000 fuel consumption, and even the highest can drop by 80,000, then this is a bit fragrant! Equivalent to 240,000 to buy 286,800 top matching Tang DM, nothing more than three electric warranty for 8 years and 150,000 kilometers, the middle price difference is 50,000, I think it can be considered!
The so-called three-electric warranty, the probability of motor electronic control damage is almost zero, the motor has no direct friction, and there is no problem of engine carbon deposition, which is unlikely to be broken. But the battery will definitely decay, but the attenuation is not equal to damage, the top distribution of pure electric endurance of 100Km, even if the attenuation to 50Km (almost impossible) can not be used? And 8 years 150,000 km warranty, in the warranty period to replace once, it is more than 8 years, inside and outside can be driven to more than 16 years, I think it is enough.
In summary, between Tang DM, Tang DM-i and Denza X, at the current price, Denza X is more worth considering, because the price is also a decisive factor in product strength. For Tang DM-i, I still have reservations, the following Song PLUS DM-i, the above Tang DM, are more worth considering.
The current news is that Tang DM-p, including the four-wheel drive Tang DM-i will be listed in April, so is it more tangled? For friends who are not in a hurry to pick up the car, it is completely possible to sink again, and so on, and the party will never lose.
